The couple left the detention center with a letter of commitment written by Li Weiguo and fingerprinted to give up custody rights.
"Brother Zheng, is this commitment letter useful?"
"It works. Voluntarily giving up support is equivalent to abandoning him. If I ask others to go through all the adoption procedures, it will be useless even if he is the biological father. Of course, if the baby is willing to support him, there is nothing we can do."
Tian Jing nodded, "I understand."
"Tiantian, do you believe Li Erzuo's words?"
Tian Jing didn't understand, "What?"
"He said you are not Chen Yaoming's child."
Tian Jing twitched the corner of her mouth, "Li Erzuo is pretending to be mysterious. I look like Chen Yaoming's mother. His mother is very strict with him, and he is very dissatisfied with his mother. So he doesn't like me."
"But the ancient motto of the Chen family is not to let the blood flow outside. Haha, let's see how I deal with him then?"
After returning home, Li Zhengguo continued to work in the fields. Tiantian said that this year's watermelons would be sold in the province and he would be more attentive to them.
…
The summer harvest has begun, and the members of the commune have left the melon fields to be guarded by their children who cannot harvest wheat. The most important thing is to harvest the grain quickly.
Hurrying slowly, when the wheat was being put into the warehouse, it started to rain.
The rain fell just in time, which was perfect for plowing the fields.
Two days before the eawn planting, corn was planted and sweet potato seedlings were planted, and the members went to guard the watermelon field again.
…
On the second day of the harvest, Ouyang Meihua came to ask Tian Jing if he wanted to go to the county seat to watch the trial.
Tian Jing refused because it was too hot.
Ouyang Meihua drove a large truck and took the commune members in Kushan who were willing to visit, including Li Baoguo and his two sons, and Li Weiguo's two sons, to the county seat.
Tian Jing, who was irritated by the heat, went to the hill. The watermelon vine on the hill had just been branched once, and there were no flowers or bones at all.
"Brother Zheng, I want to eat watermelon."
Li Zhengguo took his wife to the melon shed at the foot of the hill, "Hey, it's so scary to see watermelons now."
"Then let's go to Qingsongyan? I promised Xiaosong that I would go on vacation."
"Okay, I'll go the day after tomorrow. I'll arrange the manpower tomorrow."
"Uh-huh."
Li Zhengguo lowered his head and kissed Tian Tian, who looked like a well-behaved girl.
…
Ouyang Meihua's big truck came back again, and many of the people who followed it came back intact.
Also brought back were the ashes of Li Erzuo and Wu Huidi.
Ouyang Meihua shook the two dollars rolled in red paper in her hand dissatisfiedly.
"It's really unlucky to send a beggar away for such a small amount of time?"
Tian Jing laughed at her, "Yeah, who told you to go watch the excitement?"
Ouyang Meihua denied Tian Jing's words, "In the past, watching trial meetings was just for fun. This time, I know the people on trial and can discuss them with others and give them accurate information. Why don't I go?"
"Then don't dislike it and go back and take a shower."
"That's right, I'm going to take a bath to wash away the bad luck."
…
Early the next morning, Li Baoguo took his two sons and two nephews to the cemetery in the northwest of Houshan Mountain and buried the two urns.
Li Weikang grabbed the uncle who was about to leave and said, "Uncle, Xiaowei and I really can't feed those two. If you don't, I will throw them on the mountain to feed the wolves."
Li Baoguo was shocked, "Weikang, you are already eleven years old. What happened to your grandparents and your father are all for this reason. Don't you understand?"
"I understand!" Li Weikang nodded vigorously, "You must live your own life in order to defeat the enemy you want to defeat."
"You? You hold a grudge?"
Li Weikang nodded vigorously, "Of course, I understand clearly why my family broke up."
Li Baoguo swore, "You know what the hell, they harm others and themselves, and if you don't change, you won't end up well in the end."
Li Weikang straightened his back and raised his head, "You don't need to take care of these things. What you should take care of are the two little ones."
Li Baoguo waved his hand and left, "I can't control it. I have two more over there."
Li Weikang jumped, "You are just a coward, a coward who enjoys the benefits. You knew what they were doing was wrong, why didn't you stop them. In the end, you were just being supervised. Why? Why?"
Li Baoguo turned around, "Because I am a son, an unpopular son, just like you can't stop your mother from leaving."
"Even if you are an adult now, you can't stop your mother from leaving, and you can't support your three younger brothers. There are many things you can't help yourself with."
"Weikang, take a step back and the world will be brighter. I have told your grandfather many times, but he has never listened."
"I hope you can listen. You should read and become literate. After you become literate, you will understand many truths without having to be told by others."
Looking at his uncle's leaving figure, Li Weikang took his younger brother and sat there and cried loudly.
With tears in his eyes, he saw a pair of yellow sneakers appearing in front of him. He raised his head and immediately pounced on the visitor like a little beast wanting to protect himself.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault, it's you, it's you who ruined my family."
Li Weiguo easily blocked the fist that hit his chest.
The fist he swung out never landed on the target. Li Weikang stopped angrily and shouted, "What are you doing here?"
Li Zhengguo raised the thing on his left hand and said, "Your grandfather has been planning his whole life just to get rich. I will burn more for him. The little you and your uncle burn is not enough for him to send ghosts on the road."
After saying that, he squatted down and sorted the paper money.
His entire back was exposed in front of Li Weikang without reservation. Li Weikang bent down and picked up a stone and lifted it up, but he couldn't hit it down.
He threw the stone far away in anger.
Li Zhengguo struck a match and lit the paper money, "Weikang, Weiwei, give money to your grandfather."
Li Weiwei obediently knelt down and burned the paper.
Li Weikang hesitated for a while, then squatted down and said, "Don't think that I can forgive you if you do this."
"I'm right, why do I need your forgiveness? You feel sad, but your father is still alive and you can still see it. Where is my father? Who did you offend?"
"Your grandfather plotted against my father, did I give him a chance? Your father used Zhang Fangcao to plot against me, did I give him a chance?"
"Did they seize the opportunity I gave them? Not only did they not, they also thought I was stupid and cowardly. They actually wanted to force your four brothers on me. Why?"
"You brought those two kids with you, wouldn't you hate Zhang Fangcao? Then think about it, why should I fulfill their conspiracy?"
"If you change your current mood to the time when I knew that my father was murdered by your grandfather together with your father and Zhang Fangcao, who was my fiancée at the time, how much willpower should I use to tell myself to endure it any longer?
They once?"
"If I were you in the past, I would definitely not say these words to you. Recently, you have been forced to grow up, and I see you clumsily and hard working to take care of your three younger brothers, so I am willing to say a few words to you."
"In a few days, I will send away the four children. Your father has given up his right to support, which means he has also given up his right to be supported."
Li Weikang was stunned for a moment, his hand was caught by the flames, and he retracted, "Send it, where are you sending it?"
"Send it to a family who is willing to adopt it. My action will definitely bring you a good future. Your father also knows that he wants to see me for this purpose."
"But how could I do what he wanted? I forced him to write a letter of commitment to give up his custody rights. Otherwise, I wouldn't care."
Li Weikang was shocked, "My father, did he agree?"
Li Zhengguo nodded, "I agreed. He knelt down and begged me. This was also what I forced him to do. Just like you said, 'You must live your own life in order to defeat the enemy you want to defeat.'"
"I am the only person he knows who can arrange for four children. Even if I am his enemy, he will still kneel down and beg."
"You work hard, I'm waiting for the day you defeat me."
